With so much animal suffering news, this is very good news. Thanks for posting it.

Not sure about "very good news" in light of the fact a person has died leaving grieving family and friends, but it's certainly karma.

It is very good news because he is not going to be brutally killing anymore animals for his thrills.

I am always surprised by people who only go outdoors to shoot animals being described as "avid outdoorsman".

Unless he had a last moment epiphany that removed his ignorance he may return for the next life with the same inclination.

Actually, most of the reincarnation religions believe that you come back as the being that was mistreated. A bully comes back to be bullied. The hunter is reincarnated as the hunted., etc..

Except we only get one life. Just like all beings.

Not knowing the reason, we would feel sorry for the victim that we wouldn't have minded seeing chastised as an agressor in the previous life. In that case maybe it is better to feel sorry for the agressor knowing he is following a path of ignorance that will bring him suffering in the future and save ourselves the bad outcome of being taken by negative emotions.

There is only one life, we are all part of it.

I prefer to take a more rational view based on what we actually know rather than what sounds like a metaphysical pantheistic concept.

Multiple consciousnesses, personalities, are born and on a cosmic time-scale, in the blink of an eye, die.

From a non dualist perspective it is really irrelevant whether the consciousness experiences reincarnation or not because at the end of the day it is part of the illusion.

Multiple conscious personalities, that like you say have no real existence, but only one intelect that is real.
